i noticed when i bought the unit home and inspected it,
it had a very good drainage system to get rid of the water, it also has nice easy access ,easy to clean dust filter set up, no coughing sneezing or smells with this unit.

we have a youngster still living at home, I don't know what it is but his breath is terrible of a morning, this goes into the air-con intake and just goes round and round, takes a good 2 hours of clean air, with the house open going through it to get the smell back out and for it to smell better.

I've been to houses that don't do this, makes me want to vomit with the smell build up.

the problem is not with the water nor the intake filter but the cold radiator itself, (whatever it's called) moisture builds and attracts particulates (smell, bacteria other stuff)......this needs to be dried and aired out.
